Reaction Setting

[Sailerius]

This should be a fairly straightforward question...Basically, I want there to be an option in battle (which replaces Defend) where you can choose your "Reaction Mode," which is either Dodge or Defend.

If set to Defend, all attacks automatically hurt you but do lessener damage.
If set to Dodge, you have a chance of evading all attacks, but they do full damage.

I can do the equations for both, but I can't figure out how I set the option. Quite simply, I want the "Defend" option to become "Reaction Mode," which would bring up a small menu where you can choose Dodge or Defend.

Thanks in advance.

can't your scripters handle this? I read your recruitment thread......

The battle scripter is out of state for the month and we're hoping to get the demo out within the next two weeks.

Trickster's Skill Effects system can do this easily enough.

I already have the algorithms for both the dodge and guard reactions worked in. That's fine--I actually think that would be the hard part. What I'm trying to do is figure out how to make the option where you can choose.

...
Trickster's Skill Effects system DOES that.

EDIT: I mean Trickster's Battle Commands.

...Why didn't I think of that before? I feel like an idiot.

Anyways, thanks for the help. I greatly appreciate it. This can be closed.
